The Safety Plan Framework and Work Experience
Some of the mutual benefits:
• Students: opportunity to explore careers and experience work environments;
• Parents: allows their child to experience the world of work;
• Employers: participation in the education and job training of youth and an opportunity to screen prospective new employees;
• School: to improve liaison with industry, and develop greater relevance in program delivery;
• Workers/Organizations: to participate in the education and job training of youth and to influence the educational process.
“Supporting student transitions is everyone’s responsibility. We all stand to gain when Canadian youth have the skills, strategies, supports, and resilience they need to transition effectively through their studies and into work. Education systems play a unique and critical role in ensuring that every student has the supports they need to transition to pursue their preferred futures.”

STUDENT WORK PLACEMENT
STEP 1• Case Manager (resource/classroom teacher, etc.)
identifies a student that may be appropriate for a work experience. – Academic (Lifeworks)
– At risk
– Special needs
• Referral is made to Career and Community Work Experience Teacher (C&CE) via student information form.
STEP 2• C&CE Teacher meets with case manager and student to
gather information, assess work readiness, set goals and start intake process (if appropriate).– Student skills self assessment (form) & Student skills team
assessment (form)– Work readiness, student motivation, support for the student at
the work site.
• If the student is deemed ready for a work experience placement, C&CE teacher searches for an appropriate work placement.
• If the student is not ready for a work placement, a plan may be developed to assist the student for work readiness.
STEP 3• C&CE teachers look for an employer that meets the
requirements of the student work placement and prepares a work proposal for the employer and initiates a meeting.– Face to face meeting with the potential employer.– Teacher gets assurance that the employer will provide an interview
and is considering a student for work placement– Letter to the employer – discussion of work experience process– WCB fact sheet is provided to the employer– CCE Program Brochure is provided to the employer
• Conducts a work placement assessment to ensure a safe and healthy work placement.– Work placement safety assessment form.
STEP 4• The case manager helps student prepare a
resume, prepare for an interview, complete the Young Workers Readiness Certificate Course(with 75% or higher) or other WSH training through SAFE Workers of Tomorrow, etc.
• Once the above is completed, arrangements are made for a job interview.
• Students with special needs – may not have a resume and do a meet and greet with the employer to determine if the work placement will be a good fit.
STEP 5
• Student goes to interview (Job Coach and Case Manager may attend).
• If student is accepted, C&CE Teacher sends
– confirmation letter to employer, Case Manager and Job Coach.
– Copy of the completed work site assessment completed in Step 3
– Parent Permission & Health Form
STEP 6• Student starts placement.
– MB Education WCB Work Placement Registration Form
– Communication plan/cards
– Accident Reporting (MB Ed. WCB Workers Accident Report)
• At the beginning of each placement, student is on a trial period to ensure work placement and student compatibility. – During this time, C&CE teacher maintains contact with
employer, student, case manager and job coach to monitor progress.
– C&CE teacher conducts surprise visits to the worksite, (every 15-20 hrs., sometimes more often) and logs each visit.
STEP 7• After the trial period is over and if the student and the
employer want the placement to continue, C&CE Teacher continues work site visitations, maintaining communication with: – Employer, student, job coach and case manager. – Student maintains log of hours and case manager assures logs are completed. – Employer & student completes a mid term assessment
• Case manager maintains contact with student and job coach to determine how things are going and to let C&CE teacher know of any problems or changes required for work placement.– CCE teacher continues worksite visits – 15-20 hrs.
• Student will be assessed by the employer at at the end of the term. Student also completes an end of term self assessment.
Please note: A placement can end at anytime and for a number of reasons, such as,
– the employer does not have enough work for the student to do,
– there is a change in the structure of the work placement,
– the student’s academic program changes,
– the student and the placement are no longer a good fit,
– the student is not able to perform the tasks required of him/her, etc.

Learning outcomes are the specific
expectations of what the students are
supposed to value, know or be able to do
as a result of completing the work-
integrated learning experience.
For work experiences or work integrated
learning, the student learning outcomes
are generally developed in partnership
between the student, workplace supervisor
and educator. A work experience
programme would generally have pre-
established learning outcomes set out by
the educator.
